A member asked:
My rib has been out of place for over a week. the chiropractor has tried, but can't get it back in place. can't breathe in very deep. what should i do?

See your doctor: The concept of rib subluxation or dislocation as a common occurance and source of pain is greatly over-emphasized by chiropracters. Rarely is that the actual diagnosis, so such conditions should be evaluated by an actual physician.
